Slice of Life #22

   It was the day of my birthday that I decided I wanted highlights, I didn’t think of it much and I had actually wanted to do it right when I entered the hair salon. I wasn’t so sure but I wasn’t thinking enough I guess. I started looking up pictures about people with green highlights, yes green. I wanted to do red but I also liked green. I think I should’ve done red because it kind of matches my hair color, and I really regret getting green highlights.    I had begged my mom to let me get the highlights and she kept saying no but at the time I really wanted the get the highlights. It was my birthday so she just decided to say yes, my dad wasn’t so happy but my mom let me.     The lady that was doing my hair took a long time to do it and I wasn’t being so patient. She also kept pulling and brushing my hair which was really annoying. I had a bit of a temper but I was having patience because I wasn’t going to loose it in a hair salon.       But afterwards she finished after a good tw

   Today I told one of my friends Brianna to hop on Fortnite. I was feeling good and felt like getting a victory royale. But I asked for her help so she could back me up.     We got on Fortnite and I waited for it to load up so I could send her an invite.      I get on and sent her an invite. She accepted it so I call her so it’s more easier for us to communicate.       We started playing and we get on the battle bus, and then we jump off into the forest where there aren’t many people. So that gives us a chance to load up and get things.        While we’re at the forest we try to find each other. It was a whole maze. So we found each other because we were both trying to find guns and we both found one so we bumped into each other. I got the gun but I decided to drop it for her so she could use it because all she had was an ax.         We went running around through the forest and I was kind of scared because it’s not good to just be running around where everyone could shoot you.

  I’m at one of my friends house because I had slept over the night before. And I get up to go to the kitchen table where I sat at. I unlock my phone no suspecting nothing at all. I didn’t have any messages from anyone so I decided to open my email to see what I had got. I open it and see in bold lettering “Fortnite.” I get really excited and opened it, it said that I was ready to play Fortnite which is a video game that had just been transferred to mobile. I get so excited and start yelling and hopping around. I told my friend that I had gotten into Fortnite and she just rolled her eyes because she doesn’t really like that game she says it’s annoying. But I obviously don’t listen to her.   I quickly open the app and I could barely type my login because of how excited I was to play. I had been waiting on the waiting list for about four days already and I had thought I wasn’t going to be able to play until next month.   I signed into my account and while the page was loading I was sti

  As me and one of my friends climb the Dinosaur at Piper, we’re having doubts about getting on it. We were already climbing it but didn’t know wether or not we should keep climbing. The dinosaur was pretty high up, and it had a good view from the top. As I hop on my friend comes behind me and hops on too. We both started taking pictures because the view was so pretty and the sunset was out. Today was a pretty chilly day but it was okay.   I was feeling like pushing my friend off the side but I remembered how high up it was and I didn’t wanna seriously hurt her. Even if she would’ve fallen on the rubber chips I’m pretty sure if I fell I would’ve started screaming. So instead I just prank her.   I pretended to push her and when she was going to slide off she gasped, but I caught her. That was the whole point for me to make her believe I was actually going to push her. I started laughing while trying to get her up. I couldn’t stop laughing and she was just staring at me with a thats-no

  Today was one of my friends birthday party. The theme of the party was unicorns because she likes unicorns so all her gifts were based on unicorns. We hung out at her house and one of our friends weren’t at the party yet so we had to wait to do anything. But she actually came quickly we didn’t have to wait long. The birthday girl was like “She’s here.” And so me and one of my other best friends went to go hide so we could scare her. She walks in and my bestfriend scared her, but she didn’t get that scared. I went to go hide behind the door from the birthday girls room, and when my friend walks in I slowly move the door and come up behind her. She yells and almost attacks me but then she saw that it was me. We all started busting out laughing even if she got scared she was laughing too.    We ate and then we decided we wanted to go to the park. So we walked over there and while we were walking my friends kept throwing the volley ball in the street and I kept running to get it. I was

  Today my sisters, my mom, and me decided to go to the store. First, we went to Home Goods and then Ross.   When we got to Ross, we looked around for an hour and a half. I got tired though and sat down and watched my favorite show " Scandal "    Me and my sisters went to get in line, this time it was shocking because usually my mom gets two whole carts full of what I call "unecassary junk." She hates when I call it that but I totally think its true. But this time she only got half a cart so I was surprised.    Anyways while we were in line my mom was looking at some dresses. The dresses were real close to where we were standing. She saw a white/pink dress and she showed my sister and she said "look Mimi." But I looked too and I kind of cringed because it was kind of ugly. And I said "ha no never." I really didn't even like it, it was so ugly. Thank god I wasn't forced to try it on or wear it. I'm not a huge fan of dresses as I was

  I was in gym class sitting on the bleachers wishing I wasn't on crutches and would be able to play the game. They were playing Pac Man Tag, and it looked so fun everyone was enjoying the game. I wanted to get up and start running and playing, but that wasn't going to go well.   Towards the middle of the game I was looking at one of the kids that were playing because he looked like he was struggling. The kids that were chasing the other kids had to wear yellow jerseys, and some kid with a yellow jersey was chasing him. I see him trying to run so fast that he goes and falls, I start laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. The funny part was that he got mad and I was still laughing even after he fell. I didn't feel bad at all for laughing because he thought it was funny too.   Then came a round where if you got tagged you had to go sit in the bleachers. So my friend that fell got tagged and he was like "aw man." And he came to sit by me, and I was like "HAH

   As I’m sitting in the dentist office I could taste the toothpaste in my mouth already. And I don’t like their toothpaste because it tastes nasty. I’m sitting in a nice comfy chair waiting for my mom to come into the room so they could start the process. But I’m getting a little impatient because I want it to start already. She had taken me out of class but I kind of got mad because I was working on my argumentative essay that’s been over due.   They come in and push the chair all the way back and I get kind of dizzy because there was a lot of light right in front of my face and the movement was too quick. She starts picking at my teeth with a black thing I have no clue what it was but it sounded really weird. It made like electrical noises every time it touched my teeth so I’m guesssing it’s a new tool because they didn’t use that last time on my teeth. I wasn’t as scared at I was last time because last time they kept picking at my teeth with a metal pick and it hurt my teeth. I st

  Today in school we had a rally for the school shooting in Florida. We had the choice to go to the rally or go to the lunchroom. I chose to go to the rally because I wanted to see what the students had worked on. So when I got to the rally one of my friends sat with me and we were right by the bleachers because I can't bend my leg so one of the gym teachers gave us chairs. Me and my friend were waiting for the rally to start.  Some of the students started lining up to go up to speak. Some of the students started speaking and they actually came up with really good speeches, they were using words that would be used proffesionaly.   When everyone was done with their speeches, everyone in the gym clapped one final time. Then, the Principal came to the microphone and said that we were going to be going outside to take a picture. But it wasn't just any picture, we were going to get all the students together to make a heart and make the number seventeen. We chose the number sevente

  My Uncle texted me on iMessage and said "you wanna play pool?" I was going to say no because he always ends up winning. But today I was feeling lucky or something like that. So I say "okay, but I might loose." And he said I won't try to beat you" so I decided to take my chances and went against him.   We were right in the middle of the game, and I was actually doing pretty good. I wasn't doing bad or good, so it felt like an accomplishment. Because it's like he is the onlly one I have bad luck with playing. And then I was FaceTiming him too, so he got to see my actual reaction. While we were FaceTiming he started rambling about how in my old house I had a pool table. I didn't even know that, and that had me thinking about where it went.   I was potting a whole bunch of the pool balls, and I had a really good feeling about the game. He kept telling me I was going to lose, but I thought I was going to win. So I'm making a whole bunch of sh

   I’m going down the hall to the water fountain, because I was just coming back from gym class. I was so tired even though I wasn’t doing anything, it’s just that the crutches hurt your arms really bad. But anyways I was getting a drink of water, and I put my head up and I was waiting for my friend to come up to me. But when I duck down to get another drink I put my head up again, and I turn around and she not there anymore. I look for her and see her ready to walk toward the front doors. I call out her name but she didn’t seem to hear me, I tell one of my other friends to call her because he was closer than I was to her, so he calls her and he was really loud. The gym teacher covered her ear and it was so funny because of her face. My friend quickly turned around and said “WHAT!” And for a moment I thought she was mad or something but then she started laughing so I guess not.    She comes over my way and I ask her “are you taking me home or not?” And she said “yeah” I thought she ha

  As I was walking out of my front door, I was wondering how difficult it was going to be to walk down the stairs. My little sister was right beside me walking down the stairs at the same speed. I smiled because she was showing a lot of empathy since I got on my crutches. She kept staring at my leg so I said “what” and she looked at me real innocent and said “nothing.”   When I got down the stairs which felt like a whole mission. I took a deep breath and a break because it was a lot. Again I kept walking well half way walking. As I see the cars speeding by I loose control of myself and almost fall. I guess I was too busy looking at the cars that I got distracted and almost let go of my crutches.    When I got to the car, I didn’t even have to ask my sister to open the door, she did it for me. My heart warmed up and she made my evening better. She was helping me all day, it felt like I wasn’t doing anything myself.    When she opened the door she said “here Katie get in” I said “than

   As I sit on the wheelchair outside of he X- Ray room (I think that’s what it’s called) I’m getting ready for the amount of pain I’m going to get in my leg. I wanted to get my crutches already because I had been hopping back and forth all day. As I’m having a little movie in my head, something had to ruin it. I see a man probably in his mid 30’s walk through the door and he says “are you Katelynn?” And I obviously said “yes.”   After the numerous amount of questions that I had been asked repetitively today, he got a good grip of the handles of the wheelchair and pushed me into what looked like a really creepy room. I have a little alarm inside of me that goes off when I see metal tables because they look kind of creep. But this metal table had a white blanket on top so it wasn’t going off like crazy. He pushed me towards that table and tried to get me up. I wanted to do things myself because I wasn’t going to take the risk of getting hurt, and so I did. I hopped on the table and lai

   My day was going real smooth this morning I didn’t plan on doing anything, and it was a calm day. My plan I was imagining in my head as I was in Social Studies was too go to the bathroom during passing period.    My Social Studies teacher dismissed us and I was one of the five people that were out in the hall. I’m basically walking, right? Just like a normal kid walking down a normal hallway. My knee cap just felt like it took a million punches and was being hammered down. And at that moment I fall and my accordion slides out of my hands along with my pencil case and planner. I hear some kid say “ouu Katelynn” but didn’t help me up. I roll over and get a hold of my leg I was about to start crying but I kept reminding myself to be strong. I rollover to sit down on the floor and right when I was going to try to get up, a nice teacher told me not to get up. As much as I wanted to get up I couldn’t. I said to the teacher “I’m okay I’ll try to get up I’ll be fine.” She said “no sweetie

  As I stand up slowly to go open a banana, I smell something really good. I had no clue what it was but it smelled sweet and delicious. I take a big sniff to see if I could track the really good smell down, but I stopped sniffing just so I don't seem like a weirdo.   I faced all four corners of the classroom and nothing was there. So as I'm slowly walking to the garbage can, actually thinking I was going to find something walked to the garbage can. And my lovely ELA teacher was standing there so I asked "do you smell that, it smells really good" "I don't know where it's coming from though." Ms. Haury said "no, I hope its not something in the garbage can that smells good." She finished that off woth a big smile and her big red cheeks. You see my teachers cheeks and smile are very noticable even from a mile away, you cann see the redness in her face.   I sniffed the garbage can very slowly. I laughed at myself and told Ms. Haury "I am

    It all happened when a kid bumped into my arm, when I started feeling the itchiness. I had left my arm alone for the day, and when someone would even bump into me it started again. I was so impatient to get home, it was crazy. I was scratching my whole body I couldn’t support it anymore. It’s like I was ready to rip my skin off and be done with everything, but I obviously knew that wasn’t the solution. It started on my hand too, and when it comes to my hands it’s really bad because of how boney my hands are.    When I walked into my next class I didn’t feel like talking to anyone, the whole “hives” situation really killed my mood. And the day was actually going well because I wasn’t sick anymore and I didn’t have the pain in my ear. But of course the hives had to ruin it all. I sat down right in my seat and started slowly scratching my hand because it was itching, and when I do the redness was turning to vibrant that it looked like blood. I knew it wasn’t, but when it turned reall

    This morning I woke up, as I'm slowly getting up I feel this tickle on my arma dn I rubbed it. Nothing was there which I thought was weird, so I start scratching it and as I see it turning red I start to see red bumps on my elbow. I also get tht esame feeling on my knee cap, and I started scratching my knee cap too. I see more and more red bumps as I scratch more. When I walked up to go to the bathroom, I was going to wash my hands at the sink and when I put soap on my hand I started washing my hands and the red bumps seemed to burn. I've never even gotten these red bumps, so I was obviously worried about what it was.    Later, well probably more like ten minutes later I start noticing them on my face and I was really worried because now they ere on my elows, knees, and now my face. Some of the bumps were tiny and kind of hard to see, but I had bumps along the side of my face on left and right sides, and actually some in between my eyebrows.    The whole entire day at sch

  Today I decided to clean my room, starting with my shoes of course. I was looking arounda tmy room and I walk over to my closet and open the doors that open up to many folded clothes, hung up, thrown around, and my shoes. I was kind of curious about how many shoes I had and collected so I count "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10....." I catch my breath because I obviously didn't have enough oxegyn in my system (I know, I know I'm being very scientific right now). As I continue "11, 12." I have twelve pairs of shoes I was kind of surprised because I didn't think I had that many.    After I was done counting my shoes, I went to the kitchen and got a cloth and Lysol, and ran back to my room. I got my white Air Force 1's out, I got them for the first day of school but dirtied them while I was at my friends softball practice. I sprayed Lysol on the cloth and almost got some in my eye because I wasn't watching where I had the spray bottle facing. But lu

  This afternoon I was having a sleepover with my best friend Jenny, I ask her what she wanted to eat and she said "pizza." And obviously I was okay with it because I could eat pizza 24/7. I was in my room sitting on the bed with Jenny next to me ad she was on her phone doing I don't know what. So I get up and run to my moms room and ask for 20$ and she pulls out her wallet, and gets out 20$, I say "thanks mom, me and Jenny are going to order pizza" and she says "okay, just be careful when opening the door because Ruffes could run out." Ruffes is my cute dog, and he has an obssesion with running out the door, up and down the block. And also scaring us half to death.   I get back to my room and pick up my phone, I search up "Dominos" and called. While I was on the phone witht them I kept having to ask them to repeat because even if it was at the highest volume and on speaker I couldn't hear one thing the man was saying. The tone of his vo

  I ran down my stairs with my sister and mom behind me. My head was slowly starting to hurt because the amount of movement that was happening. I see cars zooming my and I feel so dizzy staring at the front and back lights of the cars. I could smell the fresh air, and it kind of felt really relieving and relaxing. I turn my backk and see my dog at the window watching us leave, he was doing some type of puppy dog eyes and it was one of those moments that make you say "awe."   I run to the car, and get a grasp of the handle from the trunk it was really cold, and I let go. I try to open it again and it was unlocked, I didn't want to try the third time because I just knew something was going to happen. I told my mom to unlock the trunk and when she "did unlock the trunk" I pull the handle again. SHE DIDN'T UNLOCK IT, I was so impatient already that I didn't even try opening it a fourth time because I knew if I did and it didn't open, I was going to rip

   This morning while I was laying in bed, my head was still hurting from yesterday. I had gotten a fever, and I'm horrible at trying to cope with fevers. I will literally sleep all day, be a bum, and of course not do anything.    I stretched my legs out and my arms. And when I finished all my stretching of course I was still laying in bed being lazy. I stared at the creme colored ceiling, I was just thinking about how it was Friday and I wasn't going to go to school. I was feeling lucky because every other student had to go but I got a fever and had to stay home in bed.    I got my phone and took the charger off and when I turn it on, the bright screen turns on I squint my eyes because I did just wake up. I go to Snapchat and start watching everyones stories because I mean I wanted to know what they were up to, I was also giggling because some were at school already and of course I was feeling lucky. But the sad part was the kids at school were so energetic and laughing.

    This morning I woke up feeling completely normal, until I get up and I get this huge pain in my ear, and my head hurt really bad. I grabbed my forehead, and squinted my eyes in pain. In my ear it sounded like a beeping noise, and I also couldn't hear really well. I was really worried because I didn't know what it was and believed I had gone deaf.     When I got up off my bed, I was trying to figure out what to do so I just went to my moms room. I was running through the hall in my house and my feet were trying so hard not to touch the floor because of how hold it was. I get to my moms room and thankfully she wasn't asleep. I saw her eyes glued to the television because she was watching a show that she had been stuck on for the past 4 days. Me still trying to wonder what the whole deal was with the show said to her "mom my ear really hurts and there's this beeping noise" she said "okay, let me get you some ear drops, you use to always get that when yo
